IMPROVEMENT` IN SHOW-STANDS.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH R.'PALMEN BERG,of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Show'Stands, of which the following is aspecification:

The nature of my invention consists in au improvement of the show-standsfor which Letters Patent were granted to me January 30, 1872 5 andconsists in the construction of vthe extension brackets, whereby thesame are more simple, cheaper, and more convenient.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure I represents a side view of ashow-stand embodying my invention.

A and B are bars or rods hinged together at the upper ends upon asuitable distancebar. Similar distance-bars are arranged at the bottomof the rods A and B, upon which a rod, F, and socket G, are arranged,Working into each other, as described in my former patent, and formingthe frame of the sta-nd. To the bars B sockets H are fitted, capable ofbeing moved and fixed in any desired position. To these sockets H tubesM are hinged, capable'of being adjusted in any desired inclination bymeans of set-screws n u. Into these tubes M the ends of the brackets P,shown in place in Fig. II, `are inserted, consisting of suitable piecesof iron, bent and soldered together to form the desired support for lthearticles to be exposed for show, or to support plates of metal or glass,as may be desired, upon which the articles are placed. In the end of thetubesM suitable set-screws m are arranged, to fasten the ends of thebrackets P in any desired position.

This construction of a show-stand presents the same advantagesenumerated in my pat ent of January 30, 1872, besides being more simpleand less expensive.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,isd- In combination with an adjustable shown stand, the arrangement ofthe adjustable hinged sockets or tubes M, into which the ends of thebrackets P are inserted, substantially as and for the purposehereinbefore set forth.
